Notes

This is the only source in circulation with a DAE-free lineage at the time of seeding.
The sound quality is outstanding. There are some fluctuations in levels in the right channel during "Me and My Uncle" and "Big River" which sound like a poor connection on one of the drums/high hat.

stereo 24/96 DVD-Audio rendering was also generated with Discwelder Chrome II.
seeded by the green mtn bros @ candyman FTP and planetflac, September 2006.

I'm two months into a personal project of listening to Dead shows played on this date in history. Nice way to understand their development over the years.
I am deeply thankful to everyone who made this Archive possible, from original tapers, to folks like Matthew Vernon and their masterful processing prowess to make even the oldest, grittiest shows a pleasant listening experience.
This show is the finest, cleanest, full-spectrum recording I've heard yet. Thank you, Matthew!

Subject: Spectacular

Crystalline highs, A-bomb bass, one of the finest sound-spectrum recordings of the Dead on the entire Archive. Exceptional. This IS the "Way Back Machine," transporting us through time to the Capitol Theatre in Passaiac New Jersey in 1978. Close your eyes and POOF!... Jerry's alive and cooking again. Thank you, Archive. Merry Christmas.
